## Problem We're getting 402s when an AI **agent** (chat) run hits the free allowance / spending cap, but the frontend handles them poorly and never pops the usage-limit modal. The agent runs its tool calls **server-side** (loopback HTTP via `PolicyExecutor`), so the 402 never reaches the `apiClient` interceptor that pops the modal for direct calls. It was caught by the generic tool-failure handler and flattened into a `CANNOT_CONTINUE` reason string (`"The /api/v1/… tool failed: 402…"`), streamed as a `result` event, and rendered as a scary chat bubble. This is the same gap the policy auto-run path bridges (#6626) — one layer up. ## Fix **Backend** (`proprietary`) - `AiWorkflowResponse` gains `errorCode` + `errorSubscribed`. - `AiWorkflowService` detects a downstream 401/402 entitlement sentinel in its three tool-exec catch sites (`onToolCall`, `runPlan`, `onConvertMarkdown`) and surfaces the structured code (+ `subscribed`) on the terminal response instead of the raw failure text. - Factored the 401/402 body extraction `PolicyEngine` already had into a shared `DownstreamEntitlementError` util so the two server-side paths can't drift. **Frontend** - New `usageLimitBridge` (`PAYG_LIMIT_REACHED_EVENT` + `dispatchPaygLimitReached`) generalises the previously policy-only bridge. Proprietary can't import the saas modal API (layering), so server-side limit hits broadcast a window event the saas `UsageLimitModalHost` opens the modal from. Migrated the policy path onto it. - `ChatContext` fires the matching modal (free → subscribe, subscribed → raise cap) on the limit result **and** on a direct 402, replacing the raw reason with a brief friendly line (`chat.responses.usage_limit_reached`). No Python engine changes — the charge/402 happens on the Java tool endpoint that Java itself calls. ## Test plan - [x] `:proprietary:compileJava` + `spotlessCheck` clean - [x] `AiWorkflowServiceTest` + `PolicyEngineTest` green - [x] eslint, proprietary + saas typechecks clean - [ ] Manual: drive an agent run over the limit → brief line in chat + the right modal (free vs cap) > Note: proprietary test compilation is currently blocked on the pre-existing `InitialSecuritySetupTest` 6-arg ctor break (unrelated, tracked separately); verified locally by temporarily patching it.
Frontend
All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:
task frontend:dev— start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)task frontend:build— production buildtask frontend:test— run teststask frontend:test:watch— run tests in watch modetask frontend:lint— run ESLint + cycle detectiontask frontend:typecheck— run TypeScript type checkingtask frontend:check— run typecheck + lint + testtask frontend:install— install npm dependencies
For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.
Layout
frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the
PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.)
will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules,
.storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs
once and lints with the same config.
Environment Variables
The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at
frontend/editor/:
.env— used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS).env.desktop— additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode.env.saas— additional vars loaded in SaaS mode
These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.
To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.
Docker Setup
For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.
Tauri
All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:
Dev
task desktop:dev
This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.
Build
task desktop:build
This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.
Platform-specific dev builds are also available:
task desktop:build:dev # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux # Linux AppImage
JLink Tasks
You can also run JLink steps individually:
task desktop:jlink # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean # Remove JLink artifacts
Clean
task desktop:clean
Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
